US President Trump Reportedly Called Off Airstrikes Against Houthis Amid Escalating Yemen Conflict

Washington. Reports have surfaced that US President Donald Trump called off US airstrikes against the Houthis at the last moment. With this, Houthi fighters have intensified efforts to capture strategic high grounds in Yemen on Monday. It is said that their objective is to separate the Red Sea coast from the remaining areas under the control of the Saudi-backed government.< /p>

The Iran-backed Houthi group has expanded its control at a rapid pace this month, spreading the ongoing conflict in the Middle East to new areas. This has also increased the risk to global energy supplies. Although Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has repeatedly urged the US to participate in the ongoing war in Yemen, Washington has so far refused.< /p>
